I have been an employee of the OSU Beef and Sheep Units for a year now. Through my experience I have learned so many new skills and much knowledge. I think that it is so amazing that opportunities like this are available to students at the University. More over, the skills that I have learned here not only will translate into my future ambitions of owning beef cattle, but in my teaching career as well. There is so much to learn and gain here.
Over the past year I have worked numerous hours with the animals as they were being prepared to breed, being bred, calving or lambing, and everything in between. This allowed me to see how a livestock operation runs and how to be successful at it. Additionally, just simply working with the animals feeding them on a daily basis provides a respect and knowledge of how animals think and respond to human interaction.
I cannot say enough about the OSU livestock facilities and I cannot wait to continue working at the farm over the next year. I have so much to learn in a short amount of time.
